- the engine 12 of any convenient type but preferably a single or two-cylinder petrol or diesel engine, is positioned at the rear and connected to the shaft 26.
- a rear power take-of is connected to the shaft of the engine 12, and a front power take-off 14 is positioned at the front end.
- a handlebar 15 is used for steering, and in the rear of the vehicle there is provided a seat 16 for the driver, whose feet rest on fixed pedals 17.
- the two front drive wheels 18 are mounted on rocker arms 21 hinged to the sides of the gearbox and are rotated by axles 19 provided with universal couplings 20, whereas the rear wheels 50 are idle and mounted on fixed axles 22.
- the reference numerals 23 and 23′ indicate the elastic suspension for the front and rear wheels respectively.
- the front wheels are also steerable wheels, and can be steered by a steering mechanism of any convenient structure which transmits the rotation of the handlebar to the wheels by way of struts and ties.
- the drive shaft 26 originating from the engine passes through and operates a clutch and quick-reversing device indicated overall by 55 and described in detail with reference to Figures 2 and 3.
- a gear 31 which receives motion from said device 55 engages with a gear 60 fixed onto a countershaft 61.
- This latter drives the shaft 19 of the front wheels by way of a gearbox indicated overall by 24 and of any known type, and by way of pinion 62-bevel gear 63 and a differential device of any convenient structure indicated overall by 64.
- Said countershaft 61 also operates the rear wheels if these are drive wheels.
- the shaft 26 extends beyond the device 55 into the front part of the beam 10, not shown in the sectioned part of Figure 4, to operate the front power take-off 14 in any convenient manner.
- Figure 2 is a similar sectional view but to a larger scale of the clutch and quick-reversing device 55.

- a control device shown in Figure 3 enables the elastic force of the spring to be overcome and the plate 36 to be pushed towards the left.
- the control device comprises a lever 37 which can be rotated by a pedal control 56 shown in Figure 1.
- This rotation of the pin 38 results in leftward movement (with respect to the figures) of the bearing 40 which is carried by the pin 38 and is in contact with the portion 41 of the plate 36.
- the bush has a projection 42 facing a part 43 of the plate 36.
- the plate 36 moves further towards the left until its part 43 comes into friction contact with the part 42 of the bush 39, which is at rest. Consequently the plate 36 also stops and the planet-carrier shafts 32 are halted. As these are now at rest, the planet gears 28 rotate about their axes entrained by the sun gear 27, and compel the ring gear to rotate in the opposite direction to the sun gear and shaft 26. The gear 31 also rotates in the opposite direction to the shaft 26 to produce reverse travel without moving or shifting any gear.

Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to a vehicle usable for gardening and agricultural work and capable of fast travel both on and off the road.
- Agricultural engineering has seen the development of a large number of machines for specific agricultural operations. Many of these machines are large and costly, slow-moving and mostly specialised for just one or a few specific operations. Others are smaller and inexpensive, but again are incapable of fast travel and are mostly operated by an operator who follows them on foot. Agricultural implements can be operated from tractor power takeoffs, but again there are serious cost, speed and operability limitations.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a light, economical vehicle of simple structure which is simple to operate and fast-moving both on and off the road, and by which, when connected to suitable known implements which do not require further description, can perform a large variety of gardening and agricultural operations.
- A further object of the invention is to provide a vehicle of this type which is of particularly simple and efficient design and consequently light and economical while being of overall robustness and reliability. A further object of the invention is to provide a vehicle of the kind referred to above, which can be equipped with two power take-offs, front and rear, so as to make possible a wide variety of gardening and agricultural operations.
- A further object, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, is to provide a vehicle which can be reversed in particularly simple and fast manner.
- A further object of the invention is to provide a vehicle which can be used conveniently as such when not used for gardening or agricultural operations. Further objects and advantages of the invention will be more apparent from the following description.
- In its general form the vehicle according to the invention, provided with four wheels, of which at least two are drive wheels, and an engine, is characterised by comprising a frame consisting essentially of a longitudinally extending beam preferably of hollow box section and internally housing the drive shaft or shafts. It is provided with at least one power take-off, and preferably two, namely one at the front and one at the rear. The vehicle is preferably provided with handlebar steering and a seat for the operator.
- Preferably, the engine is positioned at the rear and at least the front wheels are drive wheels.
- The vehicle according to the invention is provided with a gearbox and preferably a separate quick-reversing mechanism. This mechanism and the gearbox are housed in casings preferably disposed on the axis of the beam-frame to form a structural part thereof.
- The quick-reversing mechanism, the structure and operation of which will be more apparent from the description of a preferred embodiment, comprises a drive shaft disposed axially to the mechanism and carrying a sun gear, planet gears meshing with the sun gear and idle on planet carrier shafts mounted to undergo revolution about the axis of the mechanism, an external ring gear carrying a driven gear which transmits motion to the drive wheels, and a friction clutch device which during forward travel is arranged to lock the planet carrier shafts relative to the ring gear, means for releasing these relative to the ring gear and thus interrupt the linkage between the ring gear and drive shaft to produce the idle position, and means for blocking the revolution of the planet carrier shafts about the mechanism axis to cause the planet gears to rotate on their shafts and consequently the ring gear and driven gear to rotate in the reverse direction to the rotation of the drive shaft. Passage from the forward running to the idle position and from the idle position to the reverse running position is preferably done by an operator operating a lever by means of pedal or hand lever.
- Further preferred characteristics of the invention will be apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment thereof.
- A preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated on the accompanying drawings, in which:
- Figure 1 is a diagrammatic perspective view of a vehicle according to the invention provided with two front device wheels;
- Figure 2 is a diagrammatic axial section through a preferred form of a mechanism which acts as a friction clutch and travel reverser according to the invention;
- Figure 3 is a diagrammatic axial section through a control device for the mechanism of Figure 2;
- Figure 4 is a diagrammatic axial section taken on the line 4-4 of Figure 1 but interrupted for ease of illustration, showing the beam forming the machine frame, the transmission members, the gearbox and the front power take-off; and
- Figure 5 is a perspective view similar to Figure 1 but showing a modified embodiment of the vehicle according to the invention, provided with four drive wheels.
- With reference firstly to Figure 1, the vehicle comprises a frame consisting essentially of a
central beam 10 preferably of hollow box section and internally housing the shafts and transmission members. In the figure a part of the wall of thebeam 10 is removed to show theshaft 26 which extends from the engine. Theengine 12, of any convenient type but preferably a single or two-cylinder petrol or diesel engine, is positioned at the rear and connected to theshaft 26. - A rear power take-of is connected to the shaft of the
engine 12, and a front power take-off 14 is positioned at the front end. Ahandlebar 15 is used for steering, and in the rear of the vehicle there is provided aseat 16 for the driver, whose feet rest on fixedpedals 17. The twofront drive wheels 18 are mounted onrocker arms 21 hinged to the sides of the gearbox and are rotated byaxles 19 provided withuniversal couplings 20, whereas therear wheels 50 are idle and mounted onfixed axles 22. Thereference numerals - As can be seen in Figure 4, the
drive shaft 26 originating from the engine passes through and operates a clutch and quick-reversing device indicated overall by 55 and described in detail with reference to Figures 2 and 3. Agear 31 which receives motion from saiddevice 55 engages with agear 60 fixed onto acountershaft 61. This latter drives theshaft 19 of the front wheels by way of a gearbox indicated overall by 24 and of any known type, and by way of pinion 62-bevel gear 63 and a differential device of any convenient structure indicated overall by 64. Said countershaft 61 also operates the rear wheels if these are drive wheels. Theshaft 26 extends beyond thedevice 55 into the front part of thebeam 10, not shown in the sectioned part of Figure 4, to operate the front power take-off 14 in any convenient manner. - Figure 2 is a similar sectional view but to a larger scale of the clutch and quick-reversing
device 55. Theshaft 26 from the engine is rigid with asun gear 27 which engages a certain number ofplanet gears 28, for example three, of which only one is shown in Figure 2. These engage a cup-shaped ring gear 29 which extends in the form of asleeve 30 carrying theaforesaid gear 31, which operates thegear 60 and thecountershaft 61. Theplanet gears 28 are mounted idle on planet-carrier shafts 32 which are rigid withdiscs 33. - The
ring gear 29 is rigid withdiscs 34 provided with a lining. Aspring 35 resting against theplate 45 urges aplate 36 towards the right as shown in Figure 2, this latter being axially slidable on acylindrical member 57 housing theshaft 26. The planet-carrier shafts 32 pass through theplate 36 and consequently while this latter rotates, and together therewith, they undergo a revolutionary movement about the longitudinal axis of the device. A control device shown in Figure 3 enables the elastic force of the spring to be overcome and theplate 36 to be pushed towards the left. - The control device comprises a
lever 37 which can be rotated by apedal control 56 shown in Figure 1. - Rotating the lever results in rotation of a
pin 38 which is rigid with it and housed in thebush 39 fixed byscrews 46 to thegearbox 44, a fragment of which is shown at 44′. - This rotation of the
pin 38 results in leftward movement (with respect to the figures) of thebearing 40 which is carried by thepin 38 and is in contact with theportion 41 of theplate 36. The bush has aprojection 42 facing apart 43 of theplate 36. The operation of the described device is as follows. When the vehicle is under forward travel the various parts of the mechanism are in the positions shown in the figures. Theplate 36, urged by thespring 35, presses together the lineddiscs 34 rigid with thering gear 29 and thediscs 33 rigid with the planet-carrier shafts. The entire epicyclic mechanism then rotates as a single body together with thesun gear 27, and thus the rotation of theshaft 26 is transmitted directly to thegear 31, the speed of rotation being determined by the engine r.p.m. - If the
control lever 37 is rotated, thepin 38 rotates and thebearing 40 moves towards the left to urge theplate 36 in the same direction and compress thespring 35. Pressure on thediscs shaft 26 andring gear 29 is interrupted. The clutch is therefore disengaged, and thegear 31 which drives the wheels stops although theshaft 26 continues to rotate. - As the
lever 37 is turned further, theplate 36 moves further towards the left until itspart 43 comes into friction contact with thepart 42 of thebush 39, which is at rest. Consequently theplate 36 also stops and the planet-carrier shafts 32 are halted. As these are now at rest, theplanet gears 28 rotate about their axes entrained by thesun gear 27, and compel the ring gear to rotate in the opposite direction to the sun gear andshaft 26. Thegear 31 also rotates in the opposite direction to theshaft 26 to produce reverse travel without moving or shifting any gear. This travel reversal can be done with the gearbox in any of its positions and thus in any gear ratio. The device as described would be incorporated in a preferred embodiment of the invention. It can however be replaced by mechanical equivalents available to the expert of the art on the basis of the present description, and in the most general form of the invention it could be dispensed with and a conventional gearbox with a reverse gear be used. - Figure 5 shows the modified embodiment of the invention, in which the four wheels are indicated by the same reference numerals as heretofore.
Axles 51 for rotating therear wheels 50 are present, each provided with auniversal coupling 52. In Figure 5 the beam-frame 10 is interrupted to show the twoshafts - A lever-controlled clutch is provided for the power take-offs. For garden work, for example, the vehicle when fitted with a suitable implement can operate as a frontal or central lawn mower or as a frontal snow remover. For forage collection it can be fitted with a cutter bar at its front, a side-delivery rake at its front and tedder at its rear. For other agricultural work it can be connected to a cutter at its rear, a plough at its front, a trailer, pumps, seeders etc. All the devices and accessories required for these operations are conventional and well known and can be connected to any power take-off, and are therefore not described.
- The vehicle itself is suitable for fast travel on and off the road and for use as a vehicle as such without any additional implements being fitted.
- Because of its specially designed simple and robust structure it is efficient, safe, strong and economical. Its manoeuvrability is exceptional, especially when provided with the quick-reversing device. It therefore represents considerable progress in agricultural engineering.
